 * Check-in for EdcampNC will start at 8:00am. After registration, you can network and help create the day's schedule. You can sign up to lead a session, decide on sessions to attend and meet some new friends. At 9:30, the organizers will kickoff the unconference and EdcampNC will get underway!
 * Sessions will be 50 minutes in length, and there will be 10 minutes in between each session to allow participants to navigate the building, tweet, and reflect on their learning.
 * Lunch will be on your own. There are several local places that have some tasty eats at reasonable prices.

 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">For those of you who have never gone to an Edcamp before, please make a note of the unusual part of the morning where we will build the schedule. Edcamp doesn’t believe in paying fancy people to come and talk at you about teaching! At an Edcamp, the people attending, or participants, are the ones who who facilitate sessions on teaching and learning! So Edcamp won’t succeed without a whole bunch of you wanting to run a session of some kind! What kinds of sessions might you run?
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Discussions on issues in education
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Share a model lesson or unit
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Conduct an inquiry session into a new too
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Share something you’re passionate about
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Discuss new things you’d like to learn more about
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Share activities you’re looking to improve
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Anything else you can think of that will get other interested teachers to come and share with you!
